Designer Tiffany Brooks turned a space originally planned as the breakfast area off the kitchen into this handsome library with gray walls. It offers a break from the hustle and bustle of the main living spaces in the home.

The large modular library bookcase with a two-tone finish offers the rich look of wood with lots of open and closed storage space for books and display space for collectibles.

Three wall sconces with a natural brass finish above the large bookcase help illuminate the library. The eye-catching zigzag sconces have an attractive, elegant yet casual style.

Two midcentury-modern-style accent chairs covered in a linen fabric provide some of the stylish seating in this well-detailed library. The accent chairs have padded slope arms and tall spindle legs with a semi-attached back cushion. A pedestal side table offers a spot to rest a book or drink.
